Memories are playing like a film without sound

So what happened? I decided to switch to Beta Blogger which is the biggest mistake I've made since I converted to Blog-ligion. (Not funny, okay bad joke, sorry.) I'm sick of sitting waiting wishing for the freaking page to load. Beta Blogger probably just doesnt click with my ancient computer.

Well I still dont like you Beta Blogger! I should have known something like this would happen when they stated that you cant ever switch back to plain ol' reliable Blogger. Damn! Things dont just happen! There are signs! But then again...

Anyways, so the class of 2006 has graduated. As of now, pardon me if I start to sound incoherent cos my thoughts are definitely all over the place when it comes to this!

On Thursday, we left our mark as a class, all summed up in a game of hopscotch, if you can call it that.

4c hopping down memory lane

The 2 rehearsals (3 hours long mind you) we had was pretty fun. It was nice just "hanging out" with the entire cohort like that. Yeah, so I grumbled quite a bit about it being a waste of time.. But well, we got to sneak a peek into what's prom gna be like! Go Sheena! Your catwalking was power lah! And hey Diana, win that freaking pageant k? And Dirah! Dance like there's no tomorrow! Cos after that night, there really wont be any. ):

Okay. So on Friday when the entire cohort was "practicing", singing the songs on the stage; At the Beginning to be specific, I started to tear - like the asshole that I am. I couldnt help it! The lyrics really struck the Emo Chord. And hello, my period was coming (an hour later!) so it just wasnt my fault!

We were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never dreaming
What
we'd have to go through
Now here we are
And I'm suddenly standing
At
the beginning with you

No one told me
I was going to find you
Unexpected
What you did to my heart

See, it was unexpected. As in I never knew (call me ignorant) we were going to sing that song! So I had no time to prepare and all that. It was a blow, definitely.

On Saturday itself, I thought I could hold it together, you know, had the time to "prepare" myself. Screw all that. When Rachel came by to pass me a CD-letter, the waterworks just burst.

Achala's speech threatened the tears to spill. It was nice and warm. (:

I was happy and excited when I went up on stage to receive the envelope of stuff from Mrs Chew. A new chapter closed. The start of a new one.

But hell. It was a different story altogether up there singing with the Awesome Class of 2006. Hugging and crying. Singing the school song the loudest possible but failing due to all the sniffling, the choking with emotions..

It was bad bad crying. My face felt really hot. I dont even want to imagine how crappy I looked! It felt really final. I hated that. The finality of it all.

I looked to my left, realising there was a gap, my face was a mess. Then I saw this Cedarian, her face was a mess too, we dont know each other, I didnt know her name, but it was suddenly clear and understood. We're all Cedarians, everyone is in it together. So at the same time, we smiled sadly at one another and put our arms around each other swaying, singing (and crying) to the song.

Hugging everyone, those who mean more egging on the tears to flow full blast. Man it was depressing!

My lovely class, 4C, headed down to the courtyard to take class photos. Did Billi Banja and Retetenggae (sp?) and cheered ala OAC. Right in the middle of the courtyard making our presence felt. Maybe we looked stupid to the parents. But hey, it's my 4c. We do things our way.


Hello everyone who has any photo of the class/the hopscotch, ME, please mail it to me, thanks! Novabelle, Lock, Naz, etc!

Felt whole and satisfied after the courtyard affair. (: 4C will be missed. The best class I could ever ask for.

I'll miss my class, I'll miss the friends, I'll miss the teachers, I'll miss my class, I'll miss sleeping like an idot in the bus each day.. I'll miss everything. I'll miss Cedar.

As we go on, we will remember.
